even In our short interview, saw his aged
face flush, and once he even dropped his head
and passed his hand across his brow In un.
mistakable evidence Of embarrassment, II not
pain.
Can It be that this old soldier and states
man, whose strong manhood was passed in
the very forefront Of the great events of his
time, and upon whose devoted head has fallen
the almost single individual obloquy Of a dis
astrous war and a great political failure, has
grown weary and sick at heart in his I'M
paralleled isolation from the business Of his
country, notwithstanding the comforting and
undying sympathy of his own section and de-
feated comrades, and, faltering in the mag
nifcent struggle he has made for the main
tenance of his splendid dignity, finds pain in
continuing that struggle with the thousand
tongues of Misrepresentation and abuse and
seeks peace in silence with bis unbroken spirit
and the society Of his friends.
Doubtless he would himself resent such a
suggestion, but such was the impression re-
ceived
felt relieved of the fear entertained of
having given him undue annoyance by my
questioning when he again rose to his full
height to bid me farewell with cordial shake
of the hand and a message to common
friend, which assured me Of his friendliness
for myself.
On the day 1 saw him he had declined to
attend the Calhoun monument ceremonies In
Charleston, but he expressed the hope Of be-
ing able to attend those of the Lee monu-
ment in Richmond, though In doubt as to
whether his strength would permit the under
taking.
In speaking of his daughters visit to the
north, his single commissioning people
always enjoy trip among their friends
illustrates his careful avoidance in this purely
personal matter, as in all the conversation, of
sectional reference
The portrait which accompanies this has his
own commentator. D. NJ VANCE

A Few Notes About the Wear Of Woman.

| Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, May 2.
Pretty women are wearing red-fery red
illusion bonnets this spring, and 1t would be
impossible to tell how becoming these bonnets
are. In shape they peak up in 'front.' and have
no trimmings but red wings and knots and
fans Of red illusion. For evening wear they
are perfectly irresistible; but they are also
worn in the day on the promenade and for
driving. Last year they were greatly in
vogue in Paris Blondes and brunettes alike
find them becoming With black. or light
toilet they are extremely beautiful Clever
women who have time and taste can make
their own. Black illusion bonnets are also
much in favor, and are always pretty and ap-
propriate
Another Partisan fancy Of last summer
has arrived here, and is taking" very well.
That is street gowns Of old fashioned alpaca
or brilliantine. They call it mohair now.
and import it in brands as fine and beautiful
as silk. It makes an eninently useful and
very refined order of outdoor dress Of an un-
pretentious character. It sheds dust, keeps
unwrinkled, and, IL made up with soft, thin
waist lining, is very cool.
Flowers were never displayed In such
beauty and profusion, and never were so
much worn by young and old. All the bon
nets are trimmed high, straight in front.
Great branches Of flowers and wild weeds
and tangled things oyertop womens faces,
reaching high into space. As usual they are
of every shape, but the ones peaked up in
front are most in demand, being most becom-
ing to most faces.
Black straw hats are trimmed in colors this
season. Not always, Of course, but oftener
than with black, and with most coouettish
effect. The more colors on one bonnet this
spring the happier the wearer. Dark blood
red, stone color or pale ecru, with dark green,
or green and pink both, are combined in
geniously and effectively. Ladies who trim
their own headgear go about buying scrap
of this and scrap Of that until their collec-
ton embraces as great variety as grand
mothers work bag. Surahs, black and In
colors, never were so eminently in style as
now. Their season is the summer. They are
cool, appropriate and always becoming.
They are found in plain and with striped ones
for combination purposes, and are being
bought up with almost fierce haste
Wash goods are bewilderingly beautiful,
and becoming more stylish all the time. For
house gowns they are far prettier than any
thing else in summer, and for street wear
many OF them are unsurpassed in beauty and
appropriateness. Soft French materials, and
linens in beautiful colors that FOR delicacy
rival silk, are plentiful and attract buyers by
the score.
Short jackets are the favorite general wrap
for sturdy street use. For more dressy oc-
casions beaded things Of extravagant price

Hats are high crowned and sometimes wide
biinnned. Most Of them are not pretty.
Beauty in millinery all runs to bonnets.
Bonnpts are ever a New York institution.
Most ladies are never seen i'll hats They are
relegated to the shop girls and business
women, who must throw on their headwear
hurrie,llv, to very young girls, and are also
bought for country wear by city folk and
country folk, too. NAOMI TRENT.

GOTHAM'S JOURNALISM.
Hot Rivalry Between Big and Little
Daily Papers.
rcpacial Correapondence1

Daily Papers.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, May s.
The rivalry between the newspapers Of the
city Just now reminds one Of the neck and
neck speed in the last quarter stretch of race
between thoroughbreds. 1t Is probably most
intense between The Herald and The World
Both print mammoth sheets and multiply
supplements until they make the carriers
tired, and both evolve sensational effects that
are startling if not sublime In their audacity.
The standing novelty of The World Is its
pictorial illustrations Of men and events: that
of The Herald Is its elaborate cable CORES
pondence and domestic telegraph service In
which, as usual, "money is no objectn The
Herald, however, is for the moment a neck
ahead in the race, its business jockey having
let out another link in the shape Of the most
queerly arranged head lines ever seen in q
newspaper. One day they win be arranged
across the top Of the paper, the next across
the bottom, on the third they compel you
to begin reading from the center, and
on the fourth, if you hold the paper at q
distance, you may see Maltese cross
or some other design. The effect is unique,
and many persons buy The Herald just
to see how far the ingenuity Of man
can go in this direction without running
to seed; but the poor foremen who have to
contrive and arrange "this banner with
strange device" are in chronic state OF
lunacy.
The New York Star and Morning Journal
come next in the field of rivalry, but as the
former is only FLY, 1t Is for the moment q
one sided contest. Recently there have been
two new entries in the race, one, The Even
ing Sun, penny paper which in a single day
went to the front with a circulation Of 40
100, and has made the drivers Of the other
afternoon papers sick.
The other candidate for honors, and one its
promoters hope to make formidable rival to
The Morning Journal, is The Penny Ledger.
1t is not altogether new to the public being
the outcome Of The Wall Street Ledger,
under which name it had a prosperous career,
and it is believed TO have substantial backing.
At any rate, it is significant that its first edi-
torials were written and signed by Hon.
William Dorsheimer, the editor Of The Star,
and Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, the famous
Brooklyn divine. The president Of the COM
pany is Mr.. John Gilbert. recently managing
editor of The Morning Journal; the secretary
is Mr.. John A. Greene, the present managing
editor of The Star, and the treasurer is Mr..
Henry c. Bang, one Of New Yorks wealthy
merchants. President Gilbert is editor in
chief; Mr.. Joseph Crystal, lately OF The
Journal, its managing editor; Felix G. De
Fontaine, formerly the financial editor Of
Tie Herald, is chief Of the editorial staff; Gus
